The sounds of Motown are coming to the MSV! The Moonlighters, an Alexandria-based band that has performed at the Kennedy Center seven times, will play the best of soul music from the 1950s and 1960s eras for this special Gardens at Night. Enjoy gorgeous gardens and songs made famous by The Temptations, Aretha Franklin, Jackson Five, and more!
